“Nope, it’s most certainly not yours, ya filthy drink thief.”

“Your compliments are weird, then.”

“There’s liar stuck to your lips.” Gideon bent down and quickly removed the toilet paper, “See? Nothing!”

Joey shrugged, too embarrassed and private to actually go into detail about her and Alastor. “Bad night,” she under exaggerated.

“Yeah?” Gideon raised his eyebrows, “What, you lose a fight? Get lost in the forest? Go swimming with a troll?”

“What?! I- Psh, no, I don’t need it for anything like that. I didn’t even know! I, uh- What? Psh.”

“I feel like I signed that disclosure a long time ago, mate.” he tilted his head, “What’s up with you?” 

“Actually, mate, yeah, there is something else - I need a piece of your hair. I know! It sounds weird! Believe me, I know it sounds weird. But don’t worry, I’m not making polyjuice, I don’t even know how. I just need it for a... reason.”

“It likes it when you’re forward! Really, honestly, just try!” Gideon gave her an encouraging smile.

“It means that I don’t know where we are going on the date?”

“Oh, okay. I still think a dress is the ideal date look, y’know? ‘Cause otherwise, what’s the point of a date? You’re supposed to get dressed up all fancy!”

“No. Probably not. I don’t think so,” She hesitated, “I’m not completely sure what we’re doing yet.”

“Well, I’m pretty sure that you’re supposed to wear a dress on a date.” He raised an eyebrow, “What’s that mean?”

“We are going to go on a date.”

“That’s... something! Are you going to wear a dress?” 

“I will clock you, Gideon, and I will not feel bad about it,” She warned with a smirk.

“Okay, alright, sorry!” He raised his hands defensively, then asked, legitimately curious, “So, what, are you two dating?”

“So what if I am?” She shot back.

“Are there going to be tiny Auror babies running around soon?” He teased. 

“I was going to get a butterbeer and pride if I made it,” She shrugged, “But it was definitely more for the dignity of winning. You’d understand if you had any.” Joey pushed her lips together and tried to give Gideon her best glare, but her heart wasn’t in it. “Oh shut up, Gideon.”

“You missed out on a free butterbeer and free pride? That’s some tough luck, Joey, wow. I have plenty of dignity, thank you very much! I just save it for the places it actually matters.” He grinned. “Aha! You’re snogging Alastor Moody!” 

“My dignity,” Joey gritted her teeth, as if that was a worse fate than death, “No.” She huffed. “He just.. I just got all hyped up is all.” Her face flushed once more.

“That’s it? That’s a bloody shame, I thought it’d be something more exciting.” Upon seeing Joey’s face turn red again, Gideon gasped, amazed at his own obviously incredible investigation skills. “Hyped up? Really? Did he hype you up with his tongue?”

“It was a bet,” She groaned, “One I bloody lost. I was doing fine, but then Alastor came along and I got all jazzed up and I just couldn’t help it. I had to go for a run or I swear I was going to set something on fire.”

“Damn, what do you lose once he finds out?” Gideon shook his head, laughing. “Alastor? Moody? How’d he get you all ‘jazzed up?’ Don’t tell me you’re showing off your weird strength to other boys, Jo, I thought what we had was special!” He joked.
